Tax Credit for Scholarship Donations (OCEN SGO)
USE YOUR TAXES TO HELP STUDENTS ATTEND MADISON CHRISTIAN!
When you donate to the Ohio Christian Education Network Scholarship Granting Organization (OCEN SGO) for MCS student scholarships, Ohio gives you a dollar-for-dollar credit toward what you owe in taxes (up to $750 per taxpayer).
Donations given prior to filing your 2024 taxes on April 15, 2025 can be claimed for the 2024 tax year.
March 31, 2025 is the deadline for MCS students enrolled in K-12 for the 2025-2026 school year to apply for a scholarship.
HOW IT WORKS (FAQs):
How does the tax credit work?
Can my spouse and I receive separate tax credits if we joint file our taxes?
How much do I owe in state tax?
When is the donation deadline?
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE:
Visit MCS's OCEN SGO Portal, click the "Donate Now" button, and create an account.
After you make your gift, an email confirmation will be sent. A tax receipt can be downloaded from your account that will contain the name of both donors if a spouse is listed on the form. This tax receipt should be submitted with your tax return. (If you are both a donor and a scholarship applicant, you will need to create 2 separate accounts; one for giving and one for applying.)
Where do I find my tax receipt?
Your contributions will provide tuition scholarships to qualified MCS students. Additionally, your gifts help relieve a significant portion of the school budget that is committed to financial aid, freeing those funds for other operational uses. Thank you!
